please help me complete my tuning

[dxdenis01]

hi all i am new to the forum and new to the world of tuning not install. my system is an eclipse 8455, a ppi eq31, jl audio 300/4 driving a focal 165w bi amped a jl audio 500/1 driving a pair of jl 10w3v2. very stealth install nothing is seen. drivers are in stock location. So i started playing w tuning this thing, i set up the curve based on the audio control manual. the curve is about +9db from 20 to 100 and 0db from 125 to about 4k then slightly rolls off, 5k and 8k about -3db then 10k and 16k -6 and 20k -9db. OK so bass is nice and balanced i hear things i never knew were there but for lack of a better word it sounds flat and lifeless. i was hoping for something abit more, can i say musical and alive. Please steer me in the right direction from here. PS>> the numbers above apply to what i see on my RTA not the actual eq itself

Really, the only way to tune YOUR system correctly is to do it by ear. Count on spending a few hours just playing around with it, until you get the sound that you want.

set your high pass and low pass crossover to around 80hz

then just play with the eq until it sounds the best, i have mine all set to 0 except the highs, i have them up pretty good to give nice detail without any harshness

turn your 16k up, youll be able to hear all the detail
